The RIVER Press receives every mail
a number of letters requesting specimen
copies of the paper and in many instances
asking for particular information in re-
gard TO the country. We usually send
the papers but do not always have the
time to answer so many correspondents.
The number of such inquiries just now is
unusual and it shows that our town is at
tracing a good deal Of attention on the
outside. In few weeks the RIVER PRESS
expects to issue special. edition of sew
eral thousand copies which will serve an
excellent purpose in satisfying the wants
of these inquirers and others i'll different
parts of the country. This is the time for
Fort Benton to let her light shine abroad
to the end that We may be benefited BY
the incoming tide of immigration.

Shipping Manitoba Material by River.

Messrs. Il. C. Power & Bro. are in re-
ceipt Of information from Bismarck which
confirms the statements contained in our
dispatches last week. Messrs. Sheppard,
Winston & Co. have chartered the steamer
Bachelor for the season to convey ma
terial and supplies to various points on
the river as may be required. They have
also been given rates for supplies which
will be needed at once, to be sent on the
early boats to Buford, Milk river and the
Coal Banks. The Bachelor will start on
its first trip as soon as navigation
is practicable and take load to
Buford; the next trip will be to Milk riv-
er, and another to the Coal Banks; the boat
will be in this service all summer. This
is confirmation of what we have hitherto
said on this subject, that it is the intention
to grade as fast as possible and to that end
large bodies Of men will be put a5 work in
different localities TO hasten the grading,
in order that the road may be irOned to
Fort Benton before the first of August.

being very high grade, and containing ma
tive silver in abundance. The vein varies
in width from to 27 feet, and is estimat-
ed to average feet in width for its entire
length. A lot of ore sent to the Toston
smelter last year went 163 ozs. in silver to
the ton.
Parties here from Neihart district say
that Mr.. Rotwitt has made splendid deal
and that the mine is veritable bonanza.
Tho work of development will be carried
on as rapidly as possible, and there is no
doubt but the lucky owners will one day
realize fortunes out of their mining ven-

The ManitOba's Progress.

Col Broadwater sat in his Office yester-
day, opening and digesting stack of mail
that had accumulated in his absence. He
returned from the east on Sunday, and
was busy catching up the loose ends of his
business.
FWell, are you people going to iron the
Manitoba by electric light?" asked the
reporter.
'sHardly, was the reply. ''There was
nothing in that story. But we are going
to lay rails as fast as possible and do work
that has probably never been equaled for
so long distance. Work began on
Thursday of last week, and it will be kept
up continuously until trains run into Hell
ena. There are now 5000 teams ready at
the end of track to move at a moments
notice. That number of teams will be en-
ployed all summer. In st. Paul we fig
ured out that the number of men who will
be actually and constantly employed in
construction work during the summer will
be 10000. This, of course, will not in
clude camp followers of all kinds, who
will number thousand or two more
This will make big army of men march
ing steadily into the territory, with the
trains following behind them"
''And you have no doubt that the trains
will be run in here over the Manitob:
next fall:''

thing that has not come to pass. ."-Inde-
